The end of the year is always a season of reflection—but this year, it’s also a season of change. As we head into 2026, we’re saying goodbye to some long-time favorites while making room for the next wave of trends, textiles, and creative inspiration.
That means two things for you:
1. A sneak peek at my predictions for what will be on-trend in 2026.
2. The official announcement of our Last Chance PreOrder, opening November 20th through December 5th.
This preorder will be your chance to stock up on retiring bases, panels, and over 150 designs before they’re gone for good.
My Predictions for 2026
The future of sewing and handmade is looking nostalgic, bold, and eco-forward. Here’s what I see coming:
Color & Palette Shifts
- Muted pastels and soft neutrals will pair with classic primaries for balance.
- Earthy hues like Coffee Bean and Sage Green will ground bold pops like Amaranth, Marina, and Mandarin Orange.
- Expect playful pairings and unexpected contrasts—calm meets daring.
Prints & Patterns
- Patchwork, denim accents, and ombres will make a strong comeback.
- 60s and 70s bold geometrics plus 80s gilded glimmers of gold will add drama.
- 90s nostalgia continues: checks, girly coquette details, and playful layering.
Apparel & Style
- Oversized and flowy silhouettes with belled pants leading the way.
- A rise in upcycling and reimagined fabrics, turning sustainability into style.
Bag Trends
- Snitched, quilted, crescent, and small-scale bags will dominate.
- The tote bag remains queen for everyday function and fashion.
Textiles
- Linen and hemp blends will be on the rise.
- Recycled cork, nylon, and other natural fibers will gain traction as makers lean into eco-conscious making.
Accessories
- Charms will continue, shifting into chunkier, statement styles.
- Scarves and bandanas are coming back.
- Gold will reign as the go-to metal.
Home Décor
- Bold patterns are moving into décor, alongside a comeback of wicker.
- Both minimalism and maximalism will thrive—giving us more room for play.

To move forward, we also need to make space. That’s where our Last Chance PreOrder comes in.

Get Ready to Plan
Now’s the time to look at your stash, your upcoming projects, and the trends you want to embrace in 2026. Ask yourself:
- Which designs will help me lean into patchwork, ombres, or bold nostalgic patterns?
- Do I want to stock up on Luxe Sateen, Brushed Cotton, or Sport Lycra before they retire?
- Which Book Lover Panels do I need to secure before retirements are announced?
✨ Mark your calendar: November 20th–December 5th. ✨
The Last Chance PreOrder is more than a farewell—it’s an invitation to stitch the future together, with intention.
